In the 16th century, before the term mandarin became widespread in the European languages, the word Loutea (with various spelling variations) was often used in Europeans' travel reports to refer to Chinese scholar-officials.
Why do some people get smelly gas after eating eggs? I really love eggs, but I get really bad, sulfurous and rotten egg-smelling gas after eating eggs. This doesn't happen when I eat foods which contain eggs in moderate amounts (cakes, etc), but it does happen when I eat hard-boiled eggs or fried eggs. I don't get any stomach cramps or any other symptoms of allergy, however.
By contrast, fats and proteins cause little gas (although certain proteins may intensify the odor of gas). Sugars The sugars that cause gas are raffinose, lactose, fructose, and sorbitol. 1  Raffinose â Beans contain large amounts of this complex sugar. 2  Lactose â Lactose is the natural sugar in milk. 3  Fructose â Fructose is naturally present in onions, artichokes, pears, and wheat.
